    Uh....Rogers looks like the best option to me.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I agree with that approach....pen this year in the majors in a few weeks, then back to starting next year. If that doesn't work after 2-3 months, to the pen forever.
  3. Mike Sixel
    good point....but there is plenty of chafe that can be cut.....imo. But good point.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Has he pitched yet? If he was clean shaven, he'd look sooooooooo young......damn I'm old.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I concur, but I don't agree. But I can see why he might be waiting for this decision......other decisions, not so much.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Many, many people compare Buxton to Davis....
  7. Mike Sixel
    So, he's number 5......and somehow it's a good idea to think Buxton should leadoff, when clearly the manager is trying to protect him? That was the point.....I don't feel like arguing over the order of the top 5 MLB pitchers.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Any LH with 3 legit pitches.....that guy is a top 10 prospect in any system. I expected a slow start in Ft Meyers, and by the end of the year for him to be good, but probably not great. Start next year there, and then move to AA after I whine for weeks that he should already be there.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    IMO, he should be batting leadoff.... Like Sale is easy to hit off of? I mean, he might be the best pitcher in the majors........LH or not.

    I agree, the world is generally getting better........ But, it has a long way to go. Given the tiny anecdotal things I hear, there are plenty of people that don't like Obama because he's not white. As for guns, well, much like healthcare, we are the only nation that seems to have this problem in the civilized world........and yet we somehow think we are superior. Blindness to simple statistics and what they tell us is astounding. But, if your goal is to dumb down society, this is what you get.

    He wasn't median at 1B for offense last year. He's worse this year. Why would anyone eat crow?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Yes.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I'd think a decent RH would be better than Duensing, even against lefties, right now.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I think Rogers is an obvious answer, the odds of him starting a game this year in MN are just about nil at this point, unless multiple players are not available. He dominates lefties, and can pass at getting out righties. It is certainly possible that their other options are so bad the manager will refuse to use them in a game that matters.......but if the ones they have now are that bad (and apparently they are), why not change and see what happens? And, Duensing was bad last year. He's worse this year. I don't get why they should give him more leash..... I put it on the GM because, as far as we know, he's the one that sets the roster.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Why do you refuse to call up young bullpen arms, and insist on having guys on the roster your manager will not use? Why are there so many bad bullpen arms? Why not try something else?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Molitor refuses to use him....... Why it's he on the roster?
  17. Mike Sixel
    How's that whole leadership thing going tonight for Hunter? Not having cable.....why can't Buxton steal?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Buxton.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I never saw the need to hit him 9th or whatever. I don't believe it would change his outcomes/reduce pressure enough to matter. I'm glad he is at leadoff.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure people understand this is a joke thread.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    I find the high in the zone part interesting, since I've been begging him in posts on this site to try more of those with 2 strikes on guys.....* * and no, I don't think for 1 second he read any of that
  22. Mike Sixel
    I agree it is a key to their success.....I don't know what 90% is. But it will be hard for them to succeed if he hits like a bottom 5 1B, and never tries to get the double play on grounders......I'm hoping that was just some weird fielding anomaly last week.
  23. Mike Sixel
    You realize you were responding to a post about Suzuki, right? And that said post was about the efficacy of a thread like this changing outcomes of baseball players.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    If I read their comments one way....they are saying they like that a draftee has the confidence that comes from having relatives and experience with MLB...... I admit, I thought his hit tool would translate better than this, faster. I'm not even a bit worried, but I am surprised.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea what this post means.......even if we actually thought a thread like this had any effect, I have no idea what this post means.
